My company, Blue Collar Antiques, buys and sells a variety of antiques and collectibles. We also purchase entire estates. This time of year, a lot of people are spring cleaning and having garage sales. Make sure you are not throwing away anything that is worth good money. If you find anything weird or unusual, I would be happy to look at it for you. I am always looking for military items, comic books, baseball cards, antiques, old toys, advertising items, coins, jewelry and much more.

I have always enjoyed antiques and have a deep appreciation for history. I go to several auctions each week which helps me stay current with what people are buying and how much items are selling for. I also subscribe to many research sites. I am able to find the market value for almost any item you may have.

I have been in business for over 15 years. I believe in treating people fairly. Because of this, a big part of my business comes from referrals or repeat clients. Often when people call me to look at their collections or estates, they are pleasantly surprised to learn that items they considered worthless are actually very valuable. I would recommend to anyone that before items are discarded or given away, please give me the opportunity or someone with experience in antiques to take a look at it for valuation.

Since I have been in business for so long, I have established many contacts in the industry. Even if you have something that I do not buy, many times I can at least give you a value for it, put you in contact with someone who would buy it or tell you the best way to go about selling it. You can contact me at (219) 794-6500.
